व्यवस्था 29

1 होरेबमा परमप्रभुले इस्राएलीहरूसित बाँध्‍नुभएको करारबाहेक मोआब देशमा परमप्रभुले मोशामार्फत इस्राएलीहरूलाई दिनुभएका वचनहरू यी नै हुन् ।

These are the words of the covenant which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which He made with them in Horeb.

2 मोशाले सारा इस्राएलीलाई डाकेर भने, “मिश्र देशमा फारो, तिनका सबै अधिकारी र तिनका सबै देशमा परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूका सामु गर्नुभएको हरेक कुरा तिमीहरूले देखेका छौ ।

And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them: Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land;

3 तिमीहरूका आँखाले डरलाग्दो दुःखकष्‍ट, चिन्ह र आश्‍चर्यहरू देख्यौ ।

the great trials which thine eyes saw, the signs and those great wonders;

4 तर आजको दिनसम्म परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई जान्‍ने ह्रदय, देख्‍ने आँखा वा सुन्‍ने कान दिनुभएको छैन ।

but the LORD hath not given you a heart to know, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.

5 मैले तिमीहरूलाई चालिस वर्षसम्म उजाड-स्थानमा अगुवाइ गरेको छु । तिमीहरूका लुगा फाटिएन, न त तिमीहरूका जुत्ता च्यातिए ।

And I have led you forty years in the wilderness; your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.

6 तिमीहरूले अरू कुनै रोटी खाएनौ, न त तिमीहरूले कुनै अरू मद्य पियौ ताकि म नै परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर हुँ भनी तिमीहरूले जान्‍न सक ।

Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink; that ye might know that I am the LORD your God.

7 तिमीहरू यस ठाउँमा आउँदा हेश्बोनका राजा सीहोन र बाशानका राजा ओग तिमीहरूको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गर्न आए र हामीले तिनीहरूलाई परास्त गर्‍यौँ ।

And when ye came unto this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we smote them.

8 हामीले तिनीहरूको देश कब्जा गरी रूबेनीहरू, गादीहरू र मनेश्शेको आधा कुललाई पैतृक सम्पत्तिको रूपमा दियौँ ।

And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of the Manassites.

9 त्यसकारण, तिमीहरूले गर्ने हरेक कुरामा तिमीहरूको उन्‍नति होस् भनेर यस करारका वचनहरू पालग गर र मान ।

Observe therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may make all that ye do to prosper.

10 आज तिमीहरूका नायक, कुल, धर्म-गुरु, अधिकृत र इस्राएलका सबै मानिस परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको सामु खडा छौ ।

Ye are standing this day all of you before the LORD your God: your heads, your tribes, your elders, and your officers, even all the men of Israel,

11 तिमीहरूका छोराछोरीहरू, पत्‍नीहरू, तिमीहरूको छाउनीमा भएका परदेशी, दाउरे र पनेरे सबै उहाँको सामु खडा छौ ।

your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in the midst of thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water;

12 आज तिमीहरू परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको करारभित्र प्रवेश गर्न र परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीहरूसित खान लाग्‍नुभएको शपथभित्र प्रवेश गर्दै छौ

that thou shouldest enter into the covenant of the LORD thy God — and into His oath — which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day;

13 ताकि आज उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई आफ्नै जाति बनाउनुभएको होस् र उहाँले भन्‍नुभएझैँ उहाँले तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरू अब्राहाम, इसहाक र याकूबसित प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएअनुसार उहाँ तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वर होऊन् ।

that He may establish thee this day unto Himself for a people, and that He may be unto thee a God, as He spoke unto thee, and as He swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

14 किनकि मैले यो करार र यो शपथ आज परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको सामु

Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;

15 यहाँ उभिनेहरूसित मात्र नभएर आज हामीसित यहाँ नहुनेहरूसित पनि बाँध्दै छु ।

but with him that standeth here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day —

16 हामी मिश्रमा कसरी बस्यौँ र जाति-जातिहरूका बिचबाट हामी कसरी आयौँ भनी तिमीहरू जान्दछौ ।

for ye know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the midst of the nations through which ye passed;

17 तिनीहरूका बिचमा भएका काठ र ढुङ्गा, चाँदी र सुनले बनेका घिनलाग्दा मूर्तिहरूलाई तिमीहरूले देखेका छौ ।

and ye have seen their detestable things, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were with them —

18 तिमीहरूका बिचमा भएका कुनै पुरुष, स्‍त्री, घराना, कुलको ह्रदय परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरबाट तर्केर गई ती जातिहरूका देवताहरूको पुजा गर्न पछि नलागोस् भन्‍ने कुरामा निश्‍चित होओ । तिमीहरूका बिचमा यस्तो तितो विष उत्पन्‍न गर्ने कोही नहोस् ।

lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go to serve the gods of those nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;

19 त्यस्तो व्यक्तिले यो श्रापका वचनहरू सुन्दा त्यसले आफैलाई आशिष् दिई आफ्नो ह्रदयमा यसो भन्छ, 'म मेरो ह्रदयको हठीपनामा हिँडे तापनि मसित शान्ति हुने छ ।' यसले सुक्खा जमिनसँगै भिजेको जमिनलाई पनि नष्‍ट गर्ने छ ।

and it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying: 'I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart — that the watered be swept away with the dry';

20 परमप्रभुले त्यसलाई क्षमा दिनुहुने छैन, बरु परमप्रभुको क्रोध र उहाँको डाह त्यो मानिसको विरुद्धमा दन्कने छ अनि यस पुस्तकमा लेखिएका सबै श्राप त्यसमाथि आउने छन् । यसरी परमप्रभुले आकाशमुनिबाट त्यसको नाउँ मेटिदिनुहुने छ ।

the LORD will not be willing to pardon him, but then the anger of the LORD and His jealousy shall be kindled against that man, and all the curse that is written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven;

21 व्यवस्थाको यस पुस्तकमा लेखिएका करारका सबै श्रापअनुसार परमप्रभुले त्यसलाई इस्राएलका सबै कुलबाट विनाशको निम्ति अलग गर्नुहुने छ ।

and the LORD shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that is written in this book of the law.

22 तिमीहरूपछि आउने पुस्ता अर्थात् तिमीहरूका सन्तान र सुदूर देशबाट आउने परदेशीले यस देशमा आइपरेका विपत्तिहरू र परमप्रभुले ल्याउनुभएका विपत्तिहरू देख्दा तिनीहरूले यस बारेमा भन्‍ने छन् ।

And the generation to come, your children that shall rise up after you, and the foreigner that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses wherewith the LORD hath made it sick;

23 परमप्रभुले आफ्नो रिस र क्रोधमा सदोम र गमोरा, अदमा र सबोयीमलाई नष्‍ट पार्नुभएझैँ समस्त देशमा गन्धक र नून जलेको खाक मात्र हुने छ ।

and that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and a burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the LORD overthrew in His anger, and in His wrath;

24 अन्य जातिहरूसँगै तिनीहरूले भन्‍ने छन्, 'किन परमप्रभुले यस देशलाई यसो गर्नुभएको? यो डरलाग्दो रिसको मतलब के हो?'

even all the nations shall say 'Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?'

25 मानिसहरूले भन्‍ने छन्, 'तिनीहरूले मिश्रबाट ल्याउनुहुने परमप्रभु तिनीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्‍वरले तिनीहरूसित बाँध्‍नुभएको करार त्यागेकाले गर्दा यसो भएको हो ।

then men shall say: 'Because they forsook the covenant of the LORD, the God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them forth out of the land of Egypt;

26 तिनीहरू आफूले नचिनेका र उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई नदिनुभएको अन्य देवताहरूको पछि लागी तिनीहरूको सेवा गरेकाले र तिनीहरूका सामु निहुरेकाले गर्दा यसो भएको हो ।

and went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods that they knew not, and that He had not allotted unto them;

27 त्यसकारण, यस पुस्तकमा लेखिएका सबै श्राप आउने गरी परमप्रभुको रिस यस देशको विरुद्धमा दन्किएको हो ।

therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curse that is written in this book;

28 परमप्रभुले आफ्नो रिस, क्रोध र भयानक कोपमा तिनीहरूलाई तिनीहरूको देशबाट जरैदेखि उखेली अर्को देशमा फ्याँक्‍नुभएको छ, जस्तो आज छ ।'

and the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day'. —

29 गुप्‍त कुराहरू परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरका मात्र हुन् । तर प्रकट भएका कुराहरू सदाको निम्ति हाम्रा र हाम्रा सन्तानहरूका हुन् ताकि हामीले यस व्यवस्थाका सबै वचन पालन गर्न सकूँ ।

The secret things belong unto the LORD our God; but the things that are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
